About this listen

Dan Starkey recounts a brand-new adventure in Victorian England for the Eighth Doctor, as played on TV by Paul McGann.

In 1890s Cardiff, reporter James MacFarlane is intrigued by rumours of ‘anaesthesia frolics’, at which gatherings the latest frontier in pain relief is demonstrated to influential guests.

After he speaks to someone who attended several such ‘frolics’—and left with a hand and two fingers missing—James realises that the events have a dark side. Contriving an invitation, he is astounded to find another guest also investigating—it’s his old friend the Doctor!

Reunited in mystery, the Doctor and James enter the murky underbelly of polite Cardiff society, where they uncover a shattering secret—and a monster lurking at its heart.

Dan Starkey, who played Strax in the BBC TV series, reads Andrew Lane’s dark and brooding tale.

An Enigma for the Eighth Doctor!

Seen through the eyes of intrepid reporter James MacFarlane, and read by the versatile and talented Dan Starkey, we find that 1890s Cardiff is not all it appears to be! MacFarlane investigates a series of social gatherings that have a sinister purpose that attracts the attention of even the Doctor! Andrew Lane weaves a story that draws the listener in, revealing unexpected twists and turns, and solves the tale in an unconventional and satisfying way. If you enjoyed the adventures of Jago and Litefoot or of The Paternoster Gang, you'll feel right at home in this account of MacFarlane's mystery-solving adventure with the energetic and enigmatic Eighth Doctor, who Dan Starkey brings enthusiastically to life!
